Just amazing to me. They fired that Caterpillar up. Took a while. Operator starts it by inserting a rod into one of the holes in the exposed flywheel and giving it all he has... a lot of times. He was saying it was starting hard due to the heat. I wonder how it does in the cold. That was a real man's job operating one of those back then
